These cranes are
folded from translucent paper, giving them a lighter look as the light shines
through their wings, and making them appear to fly.

Coloured Cranes -
$17 each

Coloured cranes
can be a single flat colour or a mix depending on what I have available. Cranes
using nicer colourful paper, or that need to be custom coloured by hand may cost
extra.

Gold Cranes -
$20 each

Crane Heart - $22 each

The crane and the heart are made out of one paper. I can also make the heart in
another colour upon request. I can also make this model as a white heart with a
coloured crane.

Crane Maple Leaf - $25 each

This is a design I came up with myself; and like the crane heart, it is folded
out of a single paper. This, as well as the maple leaf alone (see
Shapes), makes a great gift and souvenir to those
visiting or leaving Canada.

Since 2013 I have made many new Japanese friends in Canada. Most of them came
from Japan on visas - some have already went back to their home country. But regardless
of whether we are near or far, we are always together.

Extra Small Cranes -
$35 each

"Freedom" - $35 each
($40 with string)

Or get a blank version for $25 ($30 with string),
and write your name, personalized message, or your wish.

Based on my
artwork
with the same name, "Freedom" was folded from a square with a corner left uncut so
that the crane would still be attached to the paper once folded. Delicate work
was required so that the crane would not rip off the paper.

Statue of Sadako Sasaki holding a golden crane - $50
each

Based on the Statue of Sadako Sasaki
in Hiroshima Peace Park.

Origami Bear
holding a paper crane; with a black label - $50

This is the model I donated for an
auction to help the victims of the the earthquake disaster in Kumamoto, Japan.
This item is not longer available, however I am happy to make a new similar
model upon request.

Inspired by the Japanese people I
meet in Toronto. Many are overwhelmed by the big world surrounding them when
they first arrive in Canada, but overtime grow to be a big part of it and call
Canada their home.
